I remember the night he showed up at my apartment with everything he had in two garbage bags. We stood in my empty living room and held each other. He said to me, “We deserve so much more than this.”

As I write this column, my baby boy is sitting in his high chair, smiling from ear to ear as he eats his morning scrambled eggs and cheese. Soon after he eats, I’ll clean him all up, play with him, and then it’s time for a movie and a nap – a routine that we have done together for what seems like forever.

Since a week before Thanksgiving my stomach has been in knots – that’s when my 2-year-old son Bentley’s symptoms started.

My friend has a master’s degree. Unhappy with the career she chose, she went back to a job that put her through college – waitressing. She makes more money than her office job paid and works three days a week. She travels the world, owns a house, and doesn’t care about who she’s friends with on LinkedIn. She is one of the happiest and genuine gals I’ve ever met. She’s a server.

In one of my favorite movies, Big Fish, the main character, Edward Bloom, said “They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops, and that’s true.” He was standing amidst popcorn floating in the air, gazing at Sandra Templeton, a girl he would eventually marry. It was around 17 years and a few weeks ago that I met my first love, popcorn and all.

I consider myself to be blessed with some of the best girlfriends in the entire world. You know who you are. We’ve grown up together and have been through the good, bad and ugly. We entered adulting clueless and years later we still have each other to lean on and be clueless with. For that I’m grateful.
